Beaver Castor Mink lure Muskrat lure
To begin... A good many trappers feel that muskrats do not
respond very well to lure, and do not use lure for muskrats,
preferring instead to use blind sets at den entrances or in
runs, pocket sets, floats, or sets baited with such things
as apples, carrots, or parsnips....... However, some
trappers use straight anise oil, or fresh muskrat glands to
lure the muskrat. As to muskrat lures you can make
yourself... Here are some recipes you might try.....
